Kielbasa Apple Kabobs

I wanted a quick hot lunch for the weekend and when I saw this ﻿Kielbasa Apple Kabobs recipe on the Whole Foods site I new I wanted to try it. I had all the ingredients in our pantry and it looked so simple and flavorful.

Ingredients:

10 to 12 bamboo or metal skewers

1 pound cooked kielbasa sausage

1 large onion

1 red apple, such as Braeburn or Gala apples, cored

1 tart green apple, such as Granny Smith, cored

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.

Cut kielbasa, onion and apples into 2-inch pieces.

Combine in a bowl the lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper and salt. Pour over Kielbasa, apples and onions. Toss to coat.

﻿Preheat grill to medium high. Thread pieces of sausage, onion and apple pieces on skewers, alternating them. Grill 3 to 5 minutes each side, until apples and onions are slightly blackened on edges, yet still crisp inside, and sausage is very hot. We broiled ours on high in the oven, 3 to 5 minutes each side. Serve immediately.

I served this with potatoes because it was was we had on hand but I sure wished I had picked up Sauerkraut. :) This simple recipe is definitely a keeper, sweet & salty deliciousness!﻿
